Wider Bars Equals Greater Control
With the ever-changing growth and evolution of gravel riding, it is only natural for rider setup and equipment preferences to change. Much like the sport of mountain biking evolved from the narrow 580mm width handlebars of the 1990s to the +720mm minimum width of today’s XCO and marathon bikes, gravel riders are now asking for wider drop handlebars.
Why? Because they offer more control and leverage for improved handling and steering precision – especially when the gravel turns to something a bit more technical. It really is that simple.
The Supa-Wide
Enter the Supa-Wide handlebar! Whilst adding extra width to a standard flared handlebar seemed like a simple update or request, Ride Farr were quite surprised to find that this was not so easy from a manufacturing perspective. Working with the experts at Nitto Handlebar Works in Japan over 12 months, they developed a bespoke drop-flare handlebar to give you extra handling and control.
